I'll just make up an example here which I hope will explain the situation.
Let's say you like a speech rate of 80% for general use. So you go into
your global settings, and set the speech rate for 80%.That's now your
default speech rate: JAWS will use a speech rate of 80% unless you tell it
otherwise.
Now, let's say you prefer a slower speech rate when you're in Word, to be
sure your typing isn't as bad as mine. So you want a speech rate of 50%.
You still want 80% in all of your other applications, but you want to slow
it down for Word. So you'd go into Word, and you would adjust your
application-specific setting for Word to 50%. Remember, the speech rate
will be 80% unless we tell it otherwise? This is how to tell it otherwise.
So if we have global set for 80%, and Word's application-specific setting
at 50%, then we have told JAWS this: Always use a speech rate of 80%,
except when you're in Word, in which case I want you to slow down to 50%.
Then when you leave Word, the global setting will take over again. Let me
know if this explanation makes any sense.

Hi List,
I'm still confused about the meaning of global versus application specific
settings. It seems both of these options are in both the global and application
voice settings menus. Why is this?
Thanks for any assistance with these questions.
